Jake POV

I couldn't believe today was the day my kids were graduating from high school. I was so proud of every single one of them, nina and annalee were off to college and jett was staying here protecting the people of forks and la push. Graduation would take place at 11 so it was an early start this morning, everyone had been fed and they are all getting ready upstairs. I was already done. So I was watching TV when embry walked in, this kid was really starting to get into the habit of just walking in, I've tried warning him that once the kids are in college he will regret just walking in one day! Mark my words.

"You look nervous jake" he said sitting down next to me.

"I'm not nervous I'm happy" I corrected him and he smirked.

"Does it make you feel old saying you have 3kids graduating high school today?" He asked.

"No because, one of them is 8 and the other two are 7 so.. No I don't feel 'old'" he chuckled and we sat in silence. I could hear Nessie trying to help annalee and nina. Annalee wanted to look nice but I think Nessie was trying to remind her this was a graduation not a night club, and nina was looking too much like she was going for a run, Nessie sounded tired already. At 10.15am jett came downstairs in an open collared shirt and dress pants.

"Look good don't i" he said doing a spin. Myself and embry laughed and he sat down on the couch with us.

"How long are they going to be?" I asked and jett rolled his eyes.

"At this rate... There going to miss the graduation" I sighed.

"Should I go up?" He shrugged.

"On your head be it old man, on your head be it" I stood up and hit the side of his head.

"I'll old man you!" He smirked and rubbed his head before I left the living room and climbed the stairs two at a time.

"Girls" I called and knocked on my own bedroom door. It was quiet until Nessie opened the door looking flusters and tired.

"Yes Jacob?" Nessie asked sounding irritated.

"I'm sorry baby, it's just we really need to get going, or there not going to graduate" Nessie sighed and nodded, she pushed the door open fully.

"Girls we are leaving now" he said in a firm voice.

"But mom-"

"No buts! Out now!" I heard the girls sigh then they both walked over to the door. They both looked beautiful. Nina had her hair down and waved for a change with a beautiful braid going across the back of her head. She was wearing a white laced dress which came half way down her arms and ended above her knees, and she was wearing some white high heals. Annalee had her hair pulled to the side in a braid. She was wearing a pink alterneck dress, which was all lace across the back, and silver high heals.

"Oh girls, you look beautiful" I told them both, they smiled and Nessie followed them out, who looked just as beautiful in a light blue dress, which made her figure look stunning.

"Shall we?" I gestured towards the stairs and they smiled, and I followed my girls downstairs. When we got down I couldn't help but notice how starstruck embry looked over annalee, he really needed to tell her before things started getting messy for them both. We had to hurry to the school, but we made it there in time, when we got there quil was already there, and the kids went off to find Claire and the rest of there graduating class.

"Quil you look like you've seen a ghost dude" I pointed out as we sat down next To him.

"Oh haven't you heard the good news jake" embry started "tonight at the party, quil is confessing his undying love to Claire" I smirked and quil shot him daggers.

"Shut the hell up! Just because you haven't got the balls to tell annalee huh?" Embry sighed.

"I've got forever with annalee! Plus I want her to enjoy her college life before I make her the old ball and chain" quil laughed and I glared at him.

"That's my daughter" I reminded him, and before I managed to get any more words out Nessie came behind him and hit him over the back of the head.

"Yeah and mine so watch that tongue doggy! Or I'll drink you dry" Nessie warned and I smirked as she came and sat down next to me.

"That was very sexy" I whispered in her ear, she smiled.

"So sexy Nessie" quil said sarcastically, him and embry almost fell off the chairs laughing.

"Watch it!" I warned using my alpha voice and they both shut up with smirks still on there faces. When the graduation started the principle made his usual speech and then the names started getting called out, it was about 5 when it got to the B's.

"Annalee Rebecca Black" was called out, annalee walked up the steps in her hat and gown, she shook the principles hand and accepted her diploma before smiling out at us and Nessie was clicking away with her camera, annalee got off the stage and came and sat back down.

"Jett Damon Jacob Black" once again jett climbed the starts accepted his diploma, gave Nessie that Winning smile, he obviously inherited from me, and went and sat back down.

"Nina Olivia Black" nina was next and she did the same, she looked less confident than annalee and jett when they did it, but she did it and I was so proud of her, well them all. The last name to get called up was Claire.

"Claire young" quil was clapping so much when she got her diploma, even more than her mom, it was normal though for someone to be proud of there imprint. The valedictorian gave her speech, and the principle gave another talk about the students going off to college. I was starting to zone out until I heard something that made my ears prick up.

"One of our very own has been accepted into The Juilliard preforming arts school in new york, so before We officially announce you all as the graduating class of 2023, I would like to ask annalee, to come on stage and sing for us all. Don't worry I have asked her this before, she isn't going to be embarrassed" Nessie gripped my hand as annalee stood up and walked over to the stage, why didn't she tell us this? Jett turned around so he could see us and flashed us a smile before looking forward again, he'd clearly knew about this. She looked so professional up there, holding the microphone with the guitarist and a drummer in the background, she really looked like she belonged up there. Annalee sang 'I'll always remember you' by Miley Cyrus. It was a good fit under the circumstances. As she sang photographs from when the students started were playing on a large screen in the background. When she finished everyone was up on there feet clapping and cheering, while myself and Nessie Beamed with pride, embry even looked like he was going to cry! The principle nodded to annalee and she grinned.

"Everyone! I now announce us the graduating class of 2023" annalee yelled and everyone cheered once again and threw there hats in the air. After all the commotion had dyed down, we all found each other and myself and Nessie practically squeezed them all the death with hugs.

"I'm so proud of you all" Nessie said, as she looked like she was fighting back the tears.

"And you, why didn't you tell us you were going to sing?" I asked and annalee blushed a little and shrugged.

"I wanted it to be a surprise, nobody knew really expect from nina and jett" I smiled as did Nessie.

"Well honey, you were amazing! Juilliard is so lucky to get you" she blushed again and we all headed home because of course Alice had 'persuaded' annalee, nina and jett to have a graduation party in the big house tonight, however I'm not sure annalee needed much persuading on that matter, and to make things ever better the whole year group was coming. Oh gee.

Claire POV

I was so excited for annalees party, well it was nina and jetts party too, but really it was annalees. I couldn't keep calm, as soon as I got home I bypassed everyone and ran into my room to get ready. I messed my curls up a little, added a little more makeup and changed my dress into a pale green one, it was fairly high on my tights and came half way down my arms, but it was super cute. I also had my strappy black high heals on too. What made tonight ever better, apart from the fact I was going to party in my best friends house, with all my school friends was the fact quil was coming, I mean I knew jake would be there somewhere as well as embry and possibly Seth, they were always there when there was food about, but quil told me the only reason he wanted to go was because I was going! It made my heart leap and sore all the way to the moon and back. Myself and quil have been best friends since well, for as long as I can remember but recently when I look at him I just can't help but stare a little longer than normal, especially if I'm seeing him after he's phased and he's got his shorts hanging low on his hips and I can see his amazing body. 'No Claire!' I told myself, quil was my bestfriend I couldn't risk that by expressing my new found feelings for him, especially if he didn't feel the same way. I couldn't loose him! Once I was ready and my head was cleared of lust filled thoughts of quil, i headed downstairs to see him sitting on my couch 'just breath'

"You look good Claire" I smiled and blushed a little.

"Thanks" I Mumbled and he smiled.

"So shall we get going?" He asked and I nodded, I said bye to my mom and we headed outside into quils truck and drove to the big Cullen house. It was amazing when we walked in, lights everywhere, decorations up, food available, drinks available. Annalee had told me that Alice was going to get us some alcohol for tonight so I'd have to see later. By 9pm everyone had arrive and I was dancing with annalee and Alexa. These two were defonaitly my all time best friends from school, I was closer to annalee though but I think that was because there was no secrets between us were we had to keep things from Alexa. At some point we lost Alexa but she was only making out with jett so she wasn't far away, myself and annalee were very much enjoying ourselves, there was certainly something in that drink! We even got nina to dance with us at one point which was fun. I wasn't sure what time it was when quil came over and caught my waist and held me up steady and was starring at me.

"Oh no your going to tell me of aren't you" I said smirking.

"No Claire.. I'm not" I smiled and tried to pull out of his hold.

"Actually, I was thinking you might need some air?" I shrugged.

"Come on" he took my hand and was leading me outside, annalee was grinning at us, she knew about my crush on quil.

"So what's up?" I asked as we walked.

"Well.. There's something I've been meaning to tell you and ask you for a while now"

"Oh yeah?" He nodded and we sat down on a large rock.

"Listen Claire... You know I'm a wolf right?" I laughed.

"Of course I do" he smiled.

"Well the thing is, it's a secret we aren't suppose to tell anyone unless there involved in our world such as vampires or our Imprints" I was shocked.

"Oh no! But you told me! Are you In trouble? Because if you are tell whoever it is that there a few years too late" quil smiled a little.

"Oh no I'm not in trouble, because I was aloud to tell you" I was confused.

"I'm not a vampire am I?" He laughed.

"No..." I nodded and quil was just starring at me.

"Claire" he sighed and I nodded.

"Claire your- your my... My imprint" my eyes went wide when he said that, his imprint! Sure I knew what that was, because quil had told me before, it's when you find your sole mate and something or other to do with gravity.

"Well... When did you do that?" I asked

"The first time I met you" my mouth hung open.

"I was like 2!" He laughed.

"Yeah, you were and here I am 16years later telling you Claire young, that I am completely and totally in love with you" well just come out and say it, I thought to myself but then it dawned on me what he really said! Quil loved me just like I loved him! He liked me no! He loved me. A wide smile covered my face.

"I'm in love with you too" I whispered and he smiled, his face inched closer to mine and I took a deep breath inhaling his amazing scent before his lips touched mine! I felt like fireworks were exploding in my body as we kissed, it was officially the most amazing thing that's ever happened.

"I can't believe you never even thought i could of imprinted on you growing up" quil said as we sat on the grass against the rock in an embrace.

"I didn't honestly. now I wondering why I didn't" he chuckled.

"I did follow you practically everywhere it was a little obvious" I shrugged.

"I guess I just thought you wolves had attachment issues, because embry and annalee are best friends and they aren't-" I didn't finish that sentence I just stared at quil.

"Oh my god they are aren't they! Embry Imprinted on annalee!" He nodded slowly.

"I can't believe she didn't tell me"

"She doesn't know" he confessed and my mouth hung open.

"Why not!"

"Embry hasn't told her yet, he wants too. he's like head over heals for that girl but he just hasn't told her, I think he's worried she's going to reject him or something" I nodded and sighed.

"Well I figured Nessie and jake would of told annalee when she was younger because their Imprints" he nodded.

"Nessie and jake wanted annalee to have a normal teenage upbringing there for meeting new people and boys, and not wanting to know she was pretty much in an arranged marriage to embry" I smiled a little at the arranged marriage part, someday I would he Claire ateara, I can't wait.

"So did jett Imprint on Alexa?" He shook his head

"Oh boy" he nodded, I couldn't stop thinking about how annalee didn't know her amazing news.

"Wow" I breathed.

"You know you can't tell her right? She has the hear this from embry when he thinks the time is right" I nodded a little disappointed I was going to have to keep a secret from my best friend.

"But I can tell her about us right?" He smiled.

"Of course you can sweetheart" oh sweetheart I like that. I smiled and he pecked my lips softly before he headed back to the party, I went to tell annalee my amazing news and quil went back to the guys wearing the cockiest grin I'd ever seen.

"Come on" annalee dragged me upstairs.

"So" she said bouncing on the spot.

"Well, turns out quil imprinted on me when I was 2" annalees mouth hung open.

"Shut up!" I nodded.

"And now were In a relationship and were gona live happily ever after" I said and sighed with content. I didn't care if every person in the house with supernatural hearing could hear me, I was so happy right now nobody was going to bring me down.

"Im so happy for you" myself and annalee shared a hug and then we headed downstairs to rejoin the party and celebrate, leaving school, growing up and new beginnings.

Horray! Quil and Claire are finally together. Let me know what you all think about this chapter, I know it's different doing a POV from Claire but I figured it would be easier explaining how those two get together from her own POV, the big thing now though is can she really keep a secret from her bestfriend? If you want to see nina and annalees graduation dresses then go to my twitter page FFYfanfiction and check it out. Oh and I've been working it out and I think to draw this story to a close there will be around 70 chapters possibly less but that's what I'm guessing right now. Thanks and see you next time.
